0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's been a week that's seen some of the BBC's biggest shows back on

0:00:05 > 0:00:08our screens, but with them have come some changes,

0:00:08 > 0:00:10not all of which you are happy with.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Welcome to this week's Points Of View.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27First this week, the long-running criminal-catching series

0:00:27 > 0:00:29back on the beat with a new look,

0:00:29 > 0:00:31after a six-month absence from our screens.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Crimewatch returned to BBC One on Monday night with new presenters -

0:00:39 > 0:00:42myself, joined by Radio 1 newsreader Tina Daheley.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Going weekly for the first time, the live show has also hit the road,

0:00:46 > 0:00:50swapping its traditional studio for a mobile one.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53We are starting here, at RAF Marham in Norfolk.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58Home to the Air Force's Tornado squadrons and the location of

0:00:58 > 0:01:02the attempted abduction of a British airman just a few weeks ago.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06Well, the verdict on Crimewatch's refreshed format is in.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30There was criticism of the content, with some of you questioning

0:01:30 > 0:01:34why the show ran films about cases already solved,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37and a feature on the perils of online dating.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01And finally, you were unhappy with the decision to split a film about

0:02:01 > 0:02:05the 1984 murder of a teenager, Melanie Road, in two,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09with viewers being encouraged to tune in to tomorrow night's show

0:02:09 > 0:02:12to see how the case was resolved.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, we put your views on Crimewatch's new format

0:02:29 > 0:02:32to the show's executive editor, Joe Mather.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Here's what he had to say.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57And following complaints about the way the show handled the film

0:02:57 > 0:02:59about Melanie Road, the BBC issued this statement.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Crimewatch continues in its new guise

0:03:26 > 0:03:29tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC One.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Now, over on BBC Two, a perennial favourite

0:03:32 > 0:03:33has been bedding in nicely.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Kicking off two Fridays ago,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Gardeners' World is back, with episodes doubling in duration

0:03:40 > 0:03:44to become an hour-long feast of all that flowers.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46The first 60-minute episode saw Monty visit

0:03:46 > 0:03:49the longest herbaceous border in the world,

0:03:49 > 0:03:52while newcomer Flo Headlam took a trip to Liverpool.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55So in this one, I've got hot colours.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Job done. Et voila.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06The new extended format, which now includes a live weather forecast,

0:04:06 > 0:04:08has left some of you feeling blooming marvellous.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25But, rather than digging the longer duration,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28others felt it was proof you really can have too much of a good thing.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I must say how disappointed I was

0:04:36 > 0:04:38with the first hour-long programme.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42It was too long, with not enough practical gardening tips.

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Please, BBC, gardeners love Gardeners' World for what it is.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50If the format works, don't change it.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57The Scottish-based drama One Of Us reached its penultimate episode

0:04:57 > 0:04:59this week on BBC One.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02The tense thriller follows two neighbouring families who,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05after each losing a child in a brutal murder,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07have their worlds turned upside down once more

0:05:07 > 0:05:10when the killer arrives on their doorstep,

0:05:10 > 0:05:12only for him to be found murdered the next morning.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14In Tuesday's episode,

0:05:14 > 0:05:18mum Moira discovered her husband Bill was suffering from Parkinson's,

0:05:18 > 0:05:21but it was this line from him that had you getting in touch.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Did you tell your mother about my condition

0:05:24 > 0:05:25on the day of Grace's funeral?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Is that how she needed to find out that I was dying?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30You were quick to point out

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Parkinson's isn't a terminal disease.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45I do have concerns that people that make these kind of programmes and

0:05:45 > 0:05:50make these kind of statements need to take into account the feelings

0:05:50 > 0:05:54of people, perhaps who have been recently diagnosed themselves,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57or who have got relatives who have recently been diagnosed,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59before they go making these statements,

0:05:59 > 0:06:03even if it is just on a TV drama.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, here's what the creators of the series had to say in response.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31Next, the much anticipated return of a time-travelling TV repair man,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34last on our screens 17 years ago.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40As part of the BBC's sitcom season,

0:06:40 > 0:06:44the entire cast of Goodnight Sweetheart were reunited last Friday

0:06:44 > 0:06:49for a one-off special penned by the show's original creators.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52You were right about Cuba, just like you were right about Suez,

0:06:52 > 0:06:54and the Berlin Wall.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56And skiffle.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59I never saw that coming.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well, sometimes I get lucky, you know.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04After mixed reviews for the recent remake of Are You Being Served,

0:07:04 > 0:07:06you were in no doubt about this one.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Right, let's keep this simple.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12One-off special, Goodnight Sweetheart,

0:07:12 > 0:07:14thoroughly enjoyable.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Original writing team, original cast.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Just adds to the magic.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Wow. Goodnight Sweetheart,

0:07:21 > 0:07:24the best programme the BBC has ever made,

0:07:24 > 0:07:28and then to carry on 17 years later, brill.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30And it's left you begging the BBC

0:07:30 > 0:07:32not to leave Gary and Co stuck in the past.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I am seriously fangirling over the

0:07:34 > 0:07:37new episode of Goodnight Sweetheart.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40I think there is a lot of scope for a new series.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48A generous offer, if ever there was one.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Are you listening, comedy commissioners?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52There's no official word yet

0:07:52 > 0:07:54if Goodnight Sweetheart will be making a return.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Such a disa...ppointment.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's not just sitcoms from yesteryear that have been

0:08:00 > 0:08:01back on our screens lately.

0:08:01 > 0:08:07BBC Two recently rebooted the '90s bot battle show Robot Wars,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10while ITV and Channel 4 have announced both Blankety Blank

0:08:10 > 0:08:14and the Crystal Maze are being lined up for remakes.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17So, as a wave of telly nostalgia sweeps the nation,

0:08:17 > 0:08:22which classic BBC shows do you feel are ripe for a return?

0:08:22 > 0:08:25We headed to Holmfirth, setting of the comedy classic

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Last Of The Summer Wine, to find out.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35I would choose Swap Shop, which was on Saturday mornings.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37You could watch it with your kids, have your breakfast,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40sit down for a couple of hours. It was just a great family programme.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41Why does the chicken cross the road?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43To get to the other side.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'd like to see Men Behaving Badly.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Always made me laugh, that programme.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I would like to see Bread come back.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55I really liked the way that they all had different jobs,

0:08:55 > 0:08:57especially when many of them were unemployed

0:08:57 > 0:08:58and at the end of the day, they had

0:08:58 > 0:09:02to put all their money and earnings in the bread bin for their mum.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'd like to bring back The Good Life.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07And this is due to the values shown in the programme.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Right. Right. Right.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Margot, I'll stop mine if you'll stop yours.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15So, listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18I'd really like to bring back 'Allo 'Allo.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Listen very carefully, for I shall say this only once.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22We used to sit around and watch it.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I think it was on Sunday nights.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26It was just such a great show, full of laughs.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28And, yeah, I'd love to see that again.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I would like to see SuperTed come back.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I loved it as a child and I would like my daughters,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Jessica and Isabella, to see it too.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Gee, thanks, SuperTed!

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'd like to see Last Of The Summer Wine come back.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43It was a really popular programme.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47It was lovely to watch it, Sunday evening, sit down,

0:09:47 > 0:09:50gentle humour, and everybody could enjoy it.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Give me a sign! Give me a sign!

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Plenty of appetite, it appears, for more series to return.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04If you've a BBC show you'd love to see make a comeback, let us know.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Contact details coming up at the end of the show.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09STRICTLY COME DANCING INTRO PLAYS

0:10:09 > 0:10:10That can only mean one thing!

0:10:10 > 0:10:12# Everybody dance now! #

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Yes, sequins were shimmering and the glitter ball gleaming last Saturday,

0:10:18 > 0:10:22as Strictly Come Dancing's 14th series began with a red carpet

0:10:22 > 0:10:25launch show which saw this year's line-up,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29including singer Will Young and former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31paired with their partners.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32It's Katya!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Most of you scored this one a firm...

0:10:41 > 0:10:42TUNEFULLY: ..ten!

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Wow! What a series opener.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Dripping with the sass and razzle-dazzle that we have

0:10:48 > 0:10:53come to expect from this funfest of glitz, glamour and glitter.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05But not everyone was enthralled by the space-themed opening

0:11:05 > 0:11:06that started the show.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10So sorry.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18The Strictly live shows start in just under two weeks' time

0:11:18 > 0:11:21on 23rd September. Can't wait.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Sticking with Saturday nights,

0:11:26 > 0:11:30BBC Four has been serving up another slice of Nordic noir in the form of

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Swedish detective series Beck,

0:11:39 > 0:11:43a modern-day dramatisation of a set of novels penned by a Swedish couple

0:11:43 > 0:11:45more than 30 years ago.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49It seems you can't get enough of Scandi dramas.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01But, in recent weeks, the show has been spoiled for some

0:12:01 > 0:12:04by a disappearance, and not one written into the script.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I really enjoy my Scandi thrillers on TV.

0:12:07 > 0:12:13So I was a bit put out and upset when, in the last episode of Beck,

0:12:13 > 0:12:17you couldn't hear what the characters were saying.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20I don't know what you've done to the sound, BBC.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29While music and sound effects were perfectly audible,

0:12:29 > 0:12:32the actors' dialogue was almost impossible to hear.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36And for once, it wasn't down to mumbling actors

0:12:36 > 0:12:37or loud background music.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54That's all for this week.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Please do keep your points of view coming.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58You can e-mail us at...

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Or via the website...

0:13:15 > 0:13:17The number is...

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Calls are charged at a local rate from a landline,

0:13:23 > 0:13:25mobile tariffs will vary.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27We've been bumped by the tennis next week,

0:13:27 > 0:13:32so we will be back here at lunchtime next Sunday, 12.30, to be precise.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36Set your generic hard disk recorders now, and I'll see you then.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57The case against you is too strong.
